Foster Clark's red food colour in a 28 ml bottle, for tinting red velvet sponge, buttercream, cupcakes, cookies and festive desserts.
A small glass bottle with a gold screw cap and a blue-and-red label: the Foster Clark's heart logo, since 1889, and the word red in English and Arabic, with food colour and 28 ml along the bottom. The gallery shows exactly where it shines, in a slice of red velvet layer cake with white frosting and a strawberry on top, and in a row of vanilla cupcakes piped with swirls of bright red buttercream. As general background, food colouring is supplied in several forms, including liquids, powders, gels and pastes, and it is used both in commercial food production and in domestic cooking. A liquid colour like this one is typically best for batters and drinks, where it mixes in evenly. Commonly, bakers add it a few drops at a time, mixing well and checking the shade before adding more, because colour in buttercream and icing typically deepens as it rests. It suits red velvet sponge, frosting, royal icing, cookies, macarons, jelly, Eid and National Day treats and Valentine's desserts. Wear gloves and cover the surface when working, since it can stain. Close the cap tightly and store the bottle upright.
